News Notes.

REFERRING ONCE more to that S. 2.
tragedy reported by me III former
communication, / find upon after in
vestigation that the reference made to
Mr.. Barnard White, oi@ lhree-Mile
Greek, was entirely incorrect, as your
read RS are already aware, from his
own statement as published IN the issue
of Sunday last. very much regret the
use of his name in connection Win the
affair. as | am Convinced by more
careful res ding of the former article
that 1t reflected on the humane and
honor able character OF the gentleman,
although to do so was farthest from the
thought or intent of your correspond
ent, who relied too much upon street
rumoT for his information. The story
was public property here aid The writer
heard il, IN an exaggerated form, from
several section men and Others before
he got what purporIed 10 be the straight
of 1t from the foreman. The affair
magnifed by repeated telling and dis
torted out of natural shape. reminds
oneof the story the song tells of the
transaction between Smith and Brown.
Smith casually remarked to friend
that ne had bought certain articles of
Brown; that friend in repeating the
conversation carelessly stated that
l;Smleh had borrowed them, it seems the
things were net returned and the third
party said unquali6edly, that Smith
took them and the fourth declared with
out fear of successful contradiction that
Smith had actually stolen from Brown.

in the rGgimentsls CT the soldier,
II .gh,ened several ladies half ous
OF their wits the other evening,
by the careless manner in which he
flourished firearms. The fellow skot
several times at the neTth-bound freight
train, as it passed him, coming into
town; he was finally taken in by Com
missioner J. 3. Darlington, and lodged
for the night. Next morning our big
hearted, Whole-souled commissioner
started him out with subscription list
headed by himself with 81; oE the
strength of this the mute succeeded N
raising enough money to take him OUT
of town. The funny part of this bust
ness. though, came in afterwards, when
it was found out that said commits
sio2er had charged the fellow sls50 Ior
bunking him over night.
